As you may have heard, "We're Mexican! Deal with it!" and in order to get in touch with our roots, we recently took a family trip with our grandfather to his homeland, Zacatecas, Mexico. The trip inspired us on many levels, but as always, we had fashion & cocktails on the brain!

Katherine's favorite part of the trip- Paletas (Mexican popsicles)! We had to stop at every paletería so she could check all out all of the different flavors. PS: Note that her hoodie is covered in ice cream confections!

Well we’ve really done it this time! We’ve invented a cocktail that’s good for you! Wait, WHAT? Yes, it’s true! And even if we’re lying... they’re delicious, so who cares? As you may or may not know Chia Seeds were once the food of the Aztecs, and are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. So drink up, because these things are healthy and delicious!

Before you begin, soak the chia seeds in 2 tablespoons of water for 15 minutes.
Combine lime juice, sugar, strawberries and basil leaves in a highball glass. Next muddle ingredients together. Add 2-4 tablespoons of white rum (depending on how "Fashionably Bombed" you want to get!) and stir. Next add pre-soaked chia seeds and stir. Finally, add crushed ice and top off with club soda. Garnish with a basil-stuffed strawberry!
